Any decal printers among us?

If any of our strength are skilled in this manner, I have a need for some registration decals for a specific Tiger Moth I’m modeling in 1:48. All I need are registration numbers for under the wings, on the rudder, and the words “Royal Navy” for each fuselage side, all printed in black. If you can help with this, I’ll send you a picture and the sizes needed. Thanks in advance! Will be part of an eventual diorama of a current WW1 museum/airfield, a past aircraft from the collection.

Iancshippee:
I managed to get my decals printed at home successfully. Moderators feel free to remove!

Marcel van Genderen:
Hi, can you maybe give us some hints on how to? I have the same problem, I need 1/24 decals for my Albatros DV.

Iancshippee:
Sure! mine were simple, just black lettering onto clear backing. I ordered clear decal paper, and downloaded the font i needed into microsoft word. I printed out a few test sizes on plain paper first, to see what would fit on the model. once I had the sizing right, i set my printer settings on highest quality (just a simple inkjet) and then let the ink dry for a couple minutes. to seal it in place, you then spray it with a clear acrylic spray (mine was a Testors product specific for decal sealing). after a few minutes of drying time, a second coat and then once it dries you're good!

Brad Cancian:
Does anyone out there in the forum have the ability to produce white decals? I have some white lettering / inscriptions (think presentation aircraft) that i'd like some decals for, but I can't print these at home without white ink. Does anyone have the ability to print something like this?

Cheers,

BC
